What is "endodontics"?

Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, particularly involving the dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels, and surrounding tissues. Endodontists, experts in this field, perform procedures such as root canal therapy to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. They also deal with issues like fluid-filled lumps inside the tooth and serious injuries to the teeth.
